BlackVue Single Camera DR650GW-1CH Questions & Answers

mine did the same. Replaced under warranty many times. Gave up in the end after last replacement and sold it. Might be the SD card. Try to format the card. If it says not formattable try a new card

Hi Squizzy,
Firstly the "W" is now a discontinued model, so no worries there. They must have a newer version available.
I live in Tassie and bought mine from NSW, this is the site : www.sparesbox.com.au.
They were fantastic, great mob to deal with and very helpful. On top of that it was a quick delivery too.
Some of the best "deals" are on the "net" so shop around and see what you can find.
I got our 2 cars fitted by an Auto Electrician, hard-wired not plugged in, starts a couple of minutes after turning on the ignition, talks to you to tell you it's working :)
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Tassie Devil.

Hi John, i am yet to use the option James mentioned above.
I have on a couple of occasions witnessed accidents that the canera had not detected as an event.
What i have done is noted the time. The way i do this is by taking a screenshot on my phone of the wallpaper

Hi jack.
You have to use another fuse point eg emergecy lights to use if iginition is off. Best bet is tge power pack asit preserves your basttery.As far as i know the sd card is data only and you can format sd without to much trouble, but ust a top quality sd card.

Cheers

1) You can put a new card in the dashcam and the dashcam will automatically load the system files to the new card and continue working.
2) If you want to use the dashcam while parked and engine off, you will need to install a Power Magic Pro. This will allow the dashcam to continue to run on the battery and then turn off once the battery gets to a certain discharge leaving enough power to start your car. I typically can get ~12 hours in parking mode with a PMP.

Hi MJPF,
Sorry, not a clue. You might want to contact Auto Black Box Pty Ltd on (08) 62675167.

To check if it is recording simply remove the SD card and view the contents on a computer. If it isn't recording you should be able to tell, try updating the firmware and resetting the device.

Beyond that... this isn't really a tech. support website and you'd probably be better contacting Blackvue directly.

Hi Albaby,

You can change or reset the password by accessing the firmware settings directly on the SD card by using the BlackVue player on your PC or Mac.

Simply put the SD card into your computer and open the BlackVue player, select the setting icon and then the WiFi tab, then you can change the password by re-entering a new one.

Thank you,

Thanks Tom. That worked a treat.

I have a satnav built in GPS - NON ISSUE / my dr650gw 1ch was not HW, instead purchased a CELLINK-B BATTERY PACK and used the existing cigarette lighter connection in the car.

Hi SLD, thanks a million for speedy reply.
The cam unit in question looks and fits the bill in almost all aspects, hence I wanted to eliminate any potential problems pre purchase rather than resolve after. I now intend to purchase forthwith.
Should any issues arise I will report back to aid all concerned.

Hi lordg
I have two separate cameras set up in my Izusu D-Max with two separate GPS and I hav'nt had a problem with them, the GPS works fine...

You could. What i do in my utes and trucks is I splice a new female accessory socket into the existing dash socket. (splice behind the dash so it all looks original from the front) and then just plug the cam into that and tape the plug and socket together so it doesn't come out. That way you don't void the warranty by cutting the power cord and it also goes on and off with the key. Also if you sell your car you can easily undo the tape and just unplug it and take it with you. It's worked well for my two, 4 year old Blackvues in trucks that do a lot of gravel road (rough) driving.

Thank you for your help. Much appreciTed
